i think your idea of a culture shift is truly brilliant. and i believe that we can make it happen. i mean we, as the human race, have been through so many successful culture shifts in the past and have made the world a better place, i.e. abolishing slavery, women’s right to vote, and gay rights are some shifts that helped human beings for the better, and to this day we are still going through much more. abolishing abortion should definitely be one of them, and i am happy to help. it starts with me~

You are absolutely right, and together we can make it happen. The hardest part about shifting away from abortion toward life is that many women have committed abortion. Most of them will never admit that what they killed was a human being deserving of human rights. And these women, in most cases, had complicit partners. And all of them have family members and friends. No one wants to admit that they may have killed, or urged someone to kill, an innocent child.
This inertia will be difficult to overcome, but it begins with forgiveness. All of us must forgive the mothers and fathers who have aborted a child, even multiple children, when they ask for forgiveness. We must embrace them and show them love and understanding so that they can heal and begin to adopt a culture of life.
Those that continue to dehumanize the prenatal members of our human family, who parody their deaths and marginalize their value, must be confronted without fear and without regard to personal attack. These are the ones who have lost all touch with basic human values and what it means to sacrifice for another. They are the most important thing in the world to themselves and will kill to keep the focus on them and them alone. People with this worldview are our greatest challenge. Unfortunately, I fear the only way to protect our children from people like this is through legislation and punishment.
Stay strong and never give up on the weakest and most vulnerable members of our human family. They desperately need you.
The End of Abortion Begins with YOU!
